A Memoir of the Grand Canal: Beijing

The magnificent river carries the water, and the cultural lineage is passed down through the ages. As 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of China's successful bid to inscribe China's Grand Canal as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and to implement China's emphasis on the protection of cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, an animated scroll "A Memoir of the Grand Canal" was released as the opening work of the project "Canal Chic - Reviving China's Heritage".

Here are some memorable landmarks along the Grand Canal in Beijing.
